A kinetic comparison of back-loading and head-loading in Xhosa women [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The purpose of this study was to compare the kinetic responses associated with ground reaction force measurements to both head-loading and back-loading in a group of Xhosa women. Altogether, 16 women were divided into two groups based on their experience

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Loading-unloading contact model between three-dimensional fractal rough surfaces

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2018
Based on fractal theory, a loading-unloading contact model between three-dimensional rough surfaces has been developed. The critical contact areas of a single asperity are scale dependent.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Law of Friction: from Tribology to Tribo-Fatigue. Report 1. Classical Law of (Dry) Friction and Need for its Adjustment

open access: yesМеханика машин, механизмов и материалов, 2019
To date, many laws of Nature have been discovered. The knowledge of each of them led to the accelerated development of the relevant sections of Science and further, as a rule, to progress in any practical area of the community of people. The empirical

Contact resistance evolution of highly cycled, lightly loaded micro-contacts

open access: yesSPIE Proceedings, 2014
Reliable microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switches are critical for developing high performance radio frequency circuits like phase shifters. Engineers have attempted to improve reliability and lifecycle performance using novel contact metals, unique mechanical designs and packaging.

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Fractal Theory Model of the Joint Interface During Loading and Unloading Considering Friction Factors

open access: yesTaiyuan Ligong Daxue xuebao, 2021
On the basis of the elastic, first elastic-plastic, second elastic-plastic and plastic deformation states of asperity, and considering the influence of friction factors, we established a fractal theoretical model of contact area and contact load of a ...

Contact Wire Irregularity Stochastics and Effect on High-Speed Railway Pantograph–Catenary Interactions

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2020
In high-speed rail operations, contact wire irregularity (CWI) in a catenary is a common disturbance to the pantograph–catenary interaction performance, which directly affects the quality of current collection.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...
